If you enjoy the post-card-perfect, fence-side views at Cole Ranch, you’re familiar with the beautiful Red Angus cattle who call it home. This summer, a limited supply will be made available to locals as part of a beef-share program. Raised with love and handled with compassion by awarded cattleman Riley Avery, these Certified Red Angus are fed on a diet of healthy heritage grasses, finished on regionally-sourced grains, grown without hormones or antibiotics, and never confined to a feedlot. State-of-the-art corrals promote a stress-free life, while a rotational grazing program ensures a healthy, happy home; all of which adds up to a finished product that tastes delicious. If you’re interested in a USDA-inspected grain- and/or grassfinished beef share from Cole Ranch, they come in eighth, quarter, half, or “The Whole Shebang.” Call Riley at 541-279-1504, then stop by the ranch to select yours.

People with over one million dollars in assets, including life insurance, should be making a plan to save on inheritance tax. John is adept at identifying and understanding the complexities of family dynamics, and truly enjoys his role in the estate-planning process. He will help you create a customized, individual plan tailored to the needs of your family.

Folks in Sisters are clamoring to purchase a hot tub — for all of the benefits to health and well-being that they bring. Time in the hot tub not only soothes the aches and pains of daily living — it’s a profound stress-reliever. Trouble is, pandemic shutdowns have upended the supply chain and hot tubs are very hard to find. Aqua Hot Tubs in Sisters acted quickly and aggressively to grab a spot in the production schedule, ordering 30 hot tubs and one swim spa — a huge order for the local outfit — so that they will be positioned to serve their customers this summer. The hot tubs will likely arrive in August. Aqua Hot Tubs will take pre-orders, and list out what has been sold and what is available — so act now to get your place in line. In the meantime, Aqua Clear spa service provides top-notch maintenance services and they’re keeping very busy getting Sisters set for summer. Inquire about employment opportunities.

For Lanie Tandy of All American Hearing, getting folks in Sisters to get their hearing tested is a mission and a calling. Early testing is critical: Tandy notes that if you wait to test until you notice diminished hearing, “the brain loses its ability to process speech sounds — and you never get that back.” Conversely, if you take action when your understanding is still at 100 percent — your prognosis to retain understanding is 100 percent. Knowledge is power, and early action is the best hope for good outcomes. Maintaining good hearing is key to quality of life — and is tied to long-term mental health. Lanie is committed to bringing good hearing healthcare to Sisters, and she urges folks — even if their hearing still seems OK — to pick up the phone and set up an appointment for testing. There are many, many options available today, and there is no cost for a consultation. “It starts with a conversation,” Lanie says.

It’s the season of home projects This may be the most opportune time for homeimprovement projects ever. Folks are spending more time at home trying to maintain their “social distance” and the opportunities beckon to fill our time with productive efforts. And, despite the evidence of recent days, the calendar promises that summer is in the offing — and we all want our home and yard to be a nice place to enjoy those long, warm days that surely must be coming. So, we get to work. The crew at the new Sisters Rental facility in Sisters has been hopping, getting Sisters folks lined out for those projects. What are the most popular projects in Sisters Country right now? 1. Refinishing the deck: “I think right now our most popular thing is a deck sander,” said Eric Spor at Sisters Rental. We spend a lot of time on the deck during the summer, and it seems that everyone is trying to make it nice. That

Efficiency is the name of the game at Sisters Rental’s brand-new 6,400-square-foot facility at the corner of Barclay Drive and Pine Street . The new steel building and expansive lot will allow the team to offer more rental equipment, in addition to more yard and home-improvement products and equipment — good news as Sisters County heads into the busy home-improvement season. The space is also much more efficient for mechanics and technicians, which will allow for quicker turnaround times for equipment maintenance and repair operations. Sisters Rental is a regional headquarters for contractors and homeowners alike, who need quality, well-maintained equipment at fair prices with excellent service to back it all up. The new facility will allow the team to improve on that reputation. Sisters Rental has also launched a new website at www.sistersrental.com showcasing the product lines they carry and rental offerings. Check it out!

Those who have acreage need to get the pasture grass mowed down. It’s not just a matter of aesthetics — keeping grasses down is a critical element of maintaining defensible space against wildfire. A tractor with a mowing deck makes the job easy — and fun. Who doesn’t love running a tractor? “Just engage the PTO and go,” Spor says. 4. Painting the house: Painting your own house is an ambitious project. If you think it’s beyond your skills — or your timeframe, there are several topnotch contractors in town (although they may already be booked for the summer). But maybe this is the year when it makes sense to devote the time and effort to doing it yourself. And if you do, you’ll save thousands of dollars, Spor notes. Good prep is key to a quality paint job. Rent a pressure washer and get all surfaces thoroughly clean so that paint adheres well and lasts. A paint sprayer makes a world of difference in the time you’ll need to put in on

means restaining and oiling. A c c o r d i n g t o S p o r, simply pressure washing the deck may not be the best course to prep it for restaining. “Pressure washing, you’re basically forcing the water into the wood, which means you have to wait longer to apply your finish,” he said. Pressure washing also does nothing to address splinters and rough spots. A well-sanded deck will be smoother and accept stain better. 2. Aerating the lawn: An aerator pulls plugs out of your lawn to allow water and nutrients to penetrate into the root system, making for a healthier, more verdant lawn. They’re easy to use. “It’s just like mowing the lawn,” Spor said. “We’ve actually got a new one now that’s easier to steer — it’s got caster wheels on the front.” A few minutes of extra work can make the lawn a whole lot nicer through the summer. 3. Mowing the pastures and fields:
